Standardized Testing
inOntario
and theUnited States
People often liken EQAO's provincial assessment program in Ontario to standardized testing in the United States. In reality, the two are Ɉ. Here are some of the top reasons why.United States
Ontario
Number
of TestsStudents in the United
States write
at least one mandatory standardized test every year betweenGrades 3 and 8 and at
least one in high school.Students in Ontario write a total of four mandatoryEQAO assessments
between junior kindergarten andGrade 12.
Time SpentWriting Tests
Students in the
United States
spend up to50 hours per
year writing standardized tests.Students in Ontario
spend a maximum of6 hours every
three years writing EQAO assessments.Creation
of TestsStandardized tests in the
United States are often
developed by commercial testing companies.EQAO assessments
are created by teachers with input from international testing experts.Stakes
for StudentsStandardized test results in the United States
are used to make decisions about holding students back and about admitting students to certain schools or programs.JULY 2015In high
school in many states, multiple state-wide tests are graduation requirements.The results of EQAO's assessments in elementary
school don't count toward report card marksThe Grade 9
math assessment can count for a fraction of a student's grade. TheGrade 10 assessment
is not the only way to satisfy the literacy requirement for graduation.Stakes for TeachersStandardized test results in the United States
and compensation in many states.EQAO results evaluation or compensation
. The results help to direct the support and resources provided to Ontario schools. Cost of TestingThe cost of state-wide standardized
testing can reach as high as $105 per student tested. Spr ead across all students - since the results are used to improve programming in all grades - the cost is $55 per student .The cost of EQAO"s province- wide testing is $50 per student testedSpread across all students
since the results are used to improve programming in all gradesthe cost is$16 per student.These are just some of the reasons standardized testing in Ontario and the United States aren't comparable.
ɈIn fact, Ontario's testing program has been held up as a model for the United States by the Organisat
ion for Economic Co-operation and Development. has consistently been intervention and support, not blame and punishment . One of its major successes in theearly years was to reduce dramatically the number of low-performing schools, not by threatening to close them
